So I am working on my first project and was trying to get my schematic down before i started learning to code. I bought the "learning to fly PIC24" book. I have a few beginners questions;
1. My project will include a 4x4 keypad and a 16x2 LCD screen with the PIC24FJ64GA002 controller, can i hook all of this up to a 28 pin PIC24?
2. I plan to use the basic 16x2 LCD hd44780, but i have no idea how to lay it out on my schematic, which pins go to which D0-D7, do i want 8 bit or 4 bit? I can find examples every where for a PIC16F/PIC18F but no PIC24. Just what to plug in where?
3. Also is there a standard way of hooking up the hardware to make coding the LCD/KEYPAD easier?
Thanks in advance for any help and if my question are amateur sorry again its my first project!
